I'm about to begin,\" the shadow clone asked Seimei, who was lying on a stone operating table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Seimei nodded and swallowed a handful of pills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These \"pills\" were actually more like a kind of toxin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a drug Seimei developed based on his own physique, designed to suppress his body's self-healing ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, his \"physique\" attribute had reached 19 points, giving him a self-healing ability far beyond the average person. This was typically beneficial, but not right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, in surgery, you have to cut open the body. If it healed in the middle of the operation, it would cause a lot of trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, this toxin, which could inhibit his body's healing ability, became crucial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the books and scrolls left by Kimura Kazuhiko included many principles for drug formulation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without them, Seimei might not have been able to develop such a drug in such a short amount of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, with something created so quickly, the effects could hardly be perfect, and side effects were inevitable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Seimei had the \"Heavenly Dominion\" ocular technique, so minor side effects didn't concern him at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was because he could completely remove the side effects after the surgery using the second ability of \"Heavenly Dominion\": the power to remove specific negative states through a reset-like process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he could safely ignore these delayed side effects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling his vitality quickly diminishing, Seimei's face paled. After a brief pause, he nodded again at the shadow clone and said, \"Go ahead!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, the shadow clone didn't waste any time. He raised his hand, forming seals, and performed the \"Chakra Scalpel\" technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint green light enveloped his right hand, and he used it to cut off some of Seimei's pain nerves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just suppressing his body's healing wasn't enough; he also needed to cut off his own pain perception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei didn't think he had the willpower to endure extreme pain without these preparations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for using anesthesia or knocking him out, not only would that potentially disrupt the shadow clone's presence, but the transformation process also required several of Seimei's own actions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this situation, he couldn't lose consciousness or his ability to move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So cutting off his pain nerves was the simplest approach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With several strokes of the shadow clone's scalpel, Seimei felt some of the nerves in his face go numb. His expression became strangely rigid, and he lost some subtle sensations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite this, the shadow clone didn't stop. He continued severing all the pain nerves above Seimei's neck, and only then moved on to the next step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, picking up a scalpel, he swiftly cut into the skin and flesh between Seimei's eyebrows, along with a large area of his facial skin nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a horrifying sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And what made it worse was that Seimei kept his eyes open the entire time, making the scene even more terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shadow clone kept moving, and after completing this step, he switched to a smaller scalpel and continued cutting along the muscle lines, quickly reaching the skull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, the shadow clone injected a faint amount of Wind Release chakra into the scalpel, greatly enhancing its sharpness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a single cut, he opened Seimei's frontal bone, revealing the brain inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with his pain nerves severed, Seimei's sharp mental awareness still let him feel significant pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, after two years of life-or-death battles, he gritted his teeth and endured it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shadow clone's expression remained unchanged as he carefully separated Seimei's diencephalon from his midbrain, exposing the third ventricle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the top of this ventricle was a small, gray-red oval-shaped gland about seven millimeters long and four millimeters wide—the mysterious pineal gland.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei's visual system transformation technique was based on this gland, intending to add an additional visual system to his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason for choosing this location was twofold: First, he planned to implant the Byakugan at his brow, and this was the most suitable spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second, the pineal gland is covered with networks of nerves and blood vessels, which, with some stimulation and guidance, could help create an additional optic nerve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that in mind, the shadow clone performed the \"Healing Palm Technique,\" creating a mass of Yang Release chakra to stimulate the pineal gland's vitality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Seimei activated his Mangekyou Sharingan, and a trail of blood streamed from his right eye as he activated the \"Dominion of Man\" ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, an invisible force acted on him, guiding the pineal gland's evolution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The core ability of \"Dominion of Man\" was absolute control over his body, allowing him to influence anything he considered \"part of himself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially, when he first awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, he could only affect his organs to a limited extent—maybe slowing his heartbeat or enhancing digestion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, as the Mangekyou Sharingan evolved, the depth of his control increased, allowing him to affect more microscopic levels of his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For this reason, he had been using this ability to assist his body's evolution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he could even catalyze nerve system growth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, with \"Dominion of Man\" guiding the direction and the shadow clone injecting vitality, they could establish a second visual system together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be cautious and allow the Mangekyou Sharingan to rest, he paused periodically to let the shadow clone inspect the optic nerve's growth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shadow clone also used surgical techniques to connect these nerves to various parts of his brain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Minute by minute, the time passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After an hour, Seimei finally completed the optic nerve catalysis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Closing his Sharingan, Seimei focused his attention forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, he felt as though a thin veil covered everything in front of him, making it hard to see clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was apparent that his vision had significantly deteriorated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing this, Seimei paused briefly, but then regained his composure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, using \"Dominion of Man\" so frequently had taken a toll on his eyesight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it was all worth it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In no more than a year, his Mangekyou Sharingan would evolve into the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, naturally resolving the vision problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even without that, the gains from this operation made it worth the sacrifice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other people undergoing body modifications often disrupt the body's systems, causing various side effects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, for Seimei, this transformation was more like evolution than modification.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire process was based on his own structure, using various techniques to guide the transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though there might be issues initially, over time, this transformation would only become more compatible with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And with a few more rounds of evolution guided by \"Dominion of Man,\" it would practically become one of his innate abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this, Seimei could even hope to unlock a new bloodline ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In theory, transplanting foreign organs doesn't grant one the associated bloodline. Bloodline traits are encoded at the genetic level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance, even though Kakashi had the Sharingan, he couldn't gain the Uchiha bloodline, making it difficult for him to use it effectively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Seimei was different; his body already had Uchiha blood, and both the Uchiha and Hyuga clans originated from the Otsutsuki clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theoretically, he already had Hyuga genes within him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So by merging the Byakugan, he might activate that potential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that happened, he could potentially acquire the Hyuga bloodline, allowing him to use the Byakugan without the same limitations as Kakashi with the Sharingan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Seimei understood that chasing bloodline powers might bring rapid gains but would ultimately limit him on the highest levels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, he aimed not to pursue the Otsutsuki bloodline intentionally but to transcend it and forge his own path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only by doing so could he truly consider his future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Seimei's thoughts wandered, the shadow clone finished the final inspection and prepared to implant the Byakugan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, the surgery was nearly a success.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1308,"2026-06-06T03:30:41.618Z",1,"novelbin.me","97fabebd618d211a33f49a2cf5fc0612eb15528f423505859818f74a1ad4016d","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-384","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-484",1097,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrind-is-my-ninja-way-cover.jpg"]
